y = sin(x);
trace = struct('x', x, 'y', y);
data = {trace};

layout = struct('plot_bgcolor','rgb(207, 226, 243)', ...
                'title','Plot with Custom Background Color');

x = 0:pi/20:2*pi;
y = cos(x);
trace = struct('x', x, 'y', y);
data = {trace};
layout = struct('plot_bgcolor','rgb(255, 255, 255)', ...
                'fig_bgcolor','rgb(255, 255, 255)', ...
